JANUARY GOALS

I just love the beginning of a new year. There are so many hopes and dreams stored up for the days ahead. A list of things we want to do, people we want to see, places we want to go. I am a dreamer, and I tend to get overwhelmed pretty easily by that wonderful list. The key for me is to take it slow...checking off one thing at a time. That's where goals come in really handy, and I love setting them for myself each month. I'm all about the baby steps, so let's get started! As they say, there's no time like the present. :)

DECEMBER REVIEW

1 | Be present - I wanted to be present with my family and friends during the holidays, free of distractions and a list of goals I wanted to complete. It was so nice to relax, go on vacation, take a week off of blogging over the week of Christmas, and just be with people.

JANUARY GOALS

1 | Practice Spanish every day - A couple of my friends are learning Spanish via Duolingo, and they inspired me to pick it back up. I took Spanish in high school and really enjoyed it. I've always loved learning new languages, but the sad thing is I didn't use it much after high school so I lost the majority of what I'd learned. Practicing on Duolingo every day will slowly and surely help me pick back up what I've lost. Hooray for continued education. :)

2 | Work out at least four days a week - Okay, so this one isn't really just a one-month goal type of thing...it's an all year long goal. :) Sitting for eight hours a day at work each day is basically the worst thing in the world for my heart. I've always been a very active person, but post-college me found it really hard to make time for consistent exercise. I'm making it a priority to work out because my heart and my body need it to be strong and healthy!

3 | Complete five more chapters in Blog Life - Guys, at some point I will actually finish the incredible Blog Life course from A Beautiful Mess. I am the turtle in this race. Hopefully in taking my time, I will glean more from the course and be able to put it all to good use!

Yay for Spanish! and working out! and bloglife! Amazingly enough we were able to workout over the holidays but since we have been home we haven't and it's been sad. And it probably won't happen until our living room is empty.
